How can people say he's sexist? He's genuinely giving girls in his class some of the best advice they will probably EVER hear. And he's doing it because he REALLY WANTS THEM TO DO BETTER FOR THEMSELVES. Not because it's the "right thing to say." What a guy.

This is so key to getting paid what you're worth. You have to know what you're worth, you have to State what you're worth, and you have to be willing to walk away if you don't get what you're worth

1:17 The first pay raise. I didnt talked about "money", i talked about functions and authority to exercise these: "Boss, I have duties that belong to a supervisor, yet I am not, so I cannot order people what to do as I cannot hire, fire nor evaluate anyone from the team". No talk about money as it was implied that a supervisor gets more. It was a brilliant move as I was made within 2-3 days.
@muralin239
I asked a raise exactly the way JP suggested, they said 'you don't even work here'.
@randomreviews1461
I was in management for 10 years finally got out of it cause I hated the conflict, I couldn't make everyone happy, and wanted my employees to like me even though I knew some of them hated me. I am an agreeable person. Peterson is spot on.
@dzemperator
man, your thumbnails are insane
@isaiahwoodbury5205
This is amazing. Also one thing to remember is every time you get a job ASK about how to get raises, time frames, and what’s the max you can make. That gives you stuff to go off of rather then just randomly saying i want more money
@sitr2516
This is true. I have gotten many raises and promotions simply by acting as if I was going to be walking out the door. The trick is not to "act" at all though. You actually have to be willing to leave if you are not given what you asked for. Same goes for getting the job in the first place. I have always found interviews to be fairly simple. I pretend in my mind that the job is already mine and that this is more of a performance review. You basically have to cultivate a persona lacking in any fear of unemployment and with the mindset that you are valuable. Easier said than done I suppose if you lack meaningful skills. Anyway. always remember that your employer isn't a benevolent entity that gives you money for no reason. They give you money because you are creating value for them, and when you realize that they are probably taking advantage of you to a grotesque degree it becomes easier to walk in the office with your dick swinging around and ask for what you deserve.
@Tererami1991
Just came down here to drop a comment after trying this... after 2 years without a raise I finally asked for one. Got a 25% increase! Thank Mr. Peterson for opening my eyes.
@epsteinsmurderer5130
I use to be agreeable, but when I went into high school I was fed up of being the nice one at my last school, and always saying yes to people and not telling people when I didn't like something. My life was so much less stressful and easy when I was just honest, and learned to say no, and stand up for myself, and now I'm a stronger person for it
@Sydra.
Peterson's speech is more useful to women than the whole feminist movement.
@nickclark18
My manager quit so they offered the position to me and showed me all the new extra tasks and responsibilities i would be doing so i asked "does this mean my pay will increase as well?" "no no no" they said so i declined the position and a week goes by and they still havent found a new manager so they bring me into the office and say look we'll increase your pay but if you make a single mistake, your gone" so i looked them dead in the eye and said "to error is human" got up and walked out and have been happier ever since.
@metalheadmachines9800
Around 2010, As a 19yo kid working at a chick fil a for about a year, I used this exact process and didn't even realize it. At first my boss thought I was quitting, and flat out asked me if that was the case. I said "no, I was actually going the other way. I'd like a raise." I was making $8 when minimum was $7.25.. I got a $2 raise on the spot, retroactive for the current paycheck (about a week and a half). Thats a 25% raise. The thing you need to think about before you ask for more money, is whether or not you're ACTUALLY doing a good job and not just going through the motions. Make sure you go above and beyond like it's your own business.
@user-cc9mx1ds5f
One of my biggest regrets is never asking for a raise. I never get promoted or pay raise. My performance always improves. I always assumed management would notice and give me one. Never again, this time I'll ask for one before moving on.
@tamim24
I got a 30% increase in my full time pay offer as a software engineer and I used his exact method to do it. I didnt watch this video at the time but still did exactly what he discussed (spoke about what I have done and continue to do and other offers that i have received)
@i_am_thebatman
- Be disagreeable, don’t agree with your boss when he tries to come up with reasons you shouldn’t get a raise -Present the Value you bring , - Don’t underestimate your own value or let your boss underestimate your value - Point out if your boss is underestimating your value and how - Give your boss a reason and incentive to give you a raise that in some way offers benefits to them - Be willing to take on more responsibility - Don’t be mouthy or your boss will think you’re a son of a Bitch and not give you anything -Don’t be too agreeable or you won’t prioritize or achieve your own interests - Show a negative effect of you not getting a pay raise , without being mouthy or making threats . Example: I have worked as hard as I can and I need to see that that work wasn’t for nothing or it will kill my incentive to work hard. If I’m going to be a successful asset to this company I need to know that I’m in a company where I can grow and succeed , just as you want me to grow and succeed as an employee so the company can grow and succeed.
@Slayer45639
Honestly this was the best video I ever watched I just wanted to thank you I took your advice and followed it to the letter and I recieved a 5 dollar raise thank you Jordan Peterson coming from a man who was truly down both mentally as well as financially you have helped me
@wendtils
Along these same lines, if your boss gives you a raise without being asked, do what you can to remain in good standing. Bosses that value their subordinates and don't view them as replaceable are incredibly rare and worth holding onto.
@efraing726
Brilliant, and spot on.
